Show Notes

PT 1: This is the first of three mini episodes of our chat with Tanya Hayles, a mom of one and an award-winning event planner, freelance writer, public speaker and creative storyteller.

She's the founder of Black Moms Connection, an online global village and non-profit organization, as well as a diversity, equity, inclusion and representation disruptor doing anti-Black racism consulting through Color In White Spaces.

Our conversation took place in August before we knew what back to school would look like between the ever-changing lockdown restrictions in Canada. 

THINGS WE TALK ABOUT: 

  • How Tanya's work and life have changed in 2020
  • Structuring her daily and weekly work from home schedule
  • Finding and creating her own village as a single parent
  • What happened when her online community started to experience rapid growth
  • Focusing on impact over monetization for Black Moms Connection
  • Using partnerships, funding and media opportunities to focus on continuing to serve the Black mother and her family
